  • Democrats vow to shut down Senate over Iran conflict

    Jump

  • Today’s democrats are basically where 2004 republicans were and we’re supposed to be excited about them winning somehow. Fucking overton window.

  • Waffle House bans Florida candidate for governor, he says

  • Does he have spiky hair, a big personality, and an even bigger heart?

  • Prepared for this day

  • Same but it only needed to happen once to make me feel I’d validated my entire collection.

  • Yes, I agree with your definition. I think it aspires to evoke a greasy spoon but is corporate

  • I had a moment of validation almost identical to this and it was just as satisfying as you would imagine.

  • Cats are perpetually one moment of disinterest away from just sauntering off from whatever to whatever else.

  • Senator Jon Husted can't leave D.C. to testify in public corruption trial in Ohio due to the "Iran war," defense attorneys said. He did find time to return to Ohio to attend a fundraiser

  • Man, I love reporters like this. Not even a comment either way on the quality of this specific reporting, but the first-person, openly adversarial but not hostile, “the people want to know” style of reporting is what we need more of. And it is fast disappearing with the general Bezos-Ization of news in America.

  • Trump shrugs off rising gas prices to reporters – ‘If they rise, they rise’

  • Username too apt.

  • What is a belief you’ve done a total 180 on?

    Jump

  • So many of them. So, so many.

    Maybe the only one I’ve kept perfectly intact is my belief that the golden rule is prime.

    I was raised a young earth creationist, picketed abortion clinics when I was elementary school aged but don’t worry I was home schooled from kindergarten through high school. Was basically a republican/libertarian until about 2015 when my spiritual leaders, including and especially my parents, began to compromise all of their values.

    More recently, probably even until 2020, I viewed myself as an aspiring centrist.

    Now I’m an agnostic atheist who is seeing how far left the political spectrum goes, and I still think centrism is a nice idea, in a totally different world than the one we live in, with a totally different meaning to “center”.

    Here is the thing I should disclose though, because I suspect it applies to a lot of things.

    I was raised steeped in a level of bigotry that was all-encompassing but cloaked in Christian love.

    I have intellectually separated myself from that bigotry, but I believe I still have instinctive/subconscious/unidentified bigotries to work through.

    I am trying to be very conscious of that as I make my way in the world, trying to love my neighbor as myself, and trying to continuously expand the definition of “neighbor”.

    Edit: I also cut my parents out of my life entirely around the time DOGE sent their “fork in the road” email.

  • Edit: I deleted a lot of this that made it obvious I did not read all of the comment I was responding to. But,

    My guess is that there are/will be two levels of removal:

    1. Moving to another job because you’re a Good Soldier and will Keep Your Mouth Shut about the countless things they aren’t telling us, or
    2. The window method popularized by our President’s real constituent
